Give it a bit more time. I've seen cherry send up sucker growth from a stump. It will probably come back but I doubt it will ever be a great specimen without a lot of time and gentler pruning in the future.
-
That area will have been surveyed and it will just be a tag that's been put on the tree so it can be identified on the survey. Edit: beaten to the answer!

If anyone's considering a cs100 mine is now on arb trader. Gutted to leave the club as its a great machine but it's just not getting the use as much now as my work has changed and suits a tow behind chipper.

Official raffle results

Big thanks to Peteb and greenmech for the hoody I received today and the added notepads, mug and cap! -
Don't know if it would be suitable but there are powered jockey wheels which look pretty simple to fit

Think I put a picture up a few pages ago on this thread.

I looked into a roller trailer for mine but ended up with a small plant trailer with loading ramp. It gave me more capacity as I could chip into my pickup, then chip into tonne bags, strap the chipper back on and load logs around it. It means I can get more on my small setup than I could if I had a tow behind chipper or a roller trailer.

Here's our log store, only our first winter so all the dry stuff has sold, working on next years supplies now. Trying to figure out the best way of organising it still but getting there!
-
Yes it has a half roof, it is removable but I never take it off. The picture shows the two rails that are permanently bolted on the truck. Then the body slides down between these and is bolted to them.
-
I may reluctantly have my cs100 up for sale in the near future. Great machine!
-
I fill it most days and it never bulges out. I fitted to rails of angle iron to the bed sides first. They are permanent on the truck and then the body slides on between them. Then bolts on to the rails
-
No I did worry about that but it's not been noticeable. I've even put tie down points on the roof section and have ladders mounted on it now. Still fine
-
Cheers mate, it's about 75cm above the sides if I remember. I've never measured the volume actually, surprises me how much it can hold to be fair.
-
Here's the body on my pick up. Had a fabricator mate weld the frame up. Then powder coated. I boarded it with ply, the black "foamex" board over the ply sides before sign writing
-
It's not a tipper. Takes about 5 minutes to unload with a good fork and plastic shovel. I've not measured it to be honest but it surprises me what I can get in.
-
Just lined the rails up, clamped them down and then drilled through the load liner and body in one pass
-
The two rails act as a guide so the sides are instantly lined up with the fixing holes. Also gives a bit more metal to bolt the body too rather than it being straight into the tubs fairly thin steel. The rails are actually "user friendly" all edges have been ground over before they were powder coated.
-
Found a picture where you can see the rails the body fits into. The rails are permanently left on.
-
Cheers Dan, that's the box fitted on mine. I bolted two lengths of angle iron to the edges of the truck tub. The body then slides down them and is bolted to it.

My greenmech earning it's keep today

No negatives in my opinion, if I think it may get stuck I normally nip back up and remove it before getting down from the tree
